Do we only see the stars that are on the opposite side of the sun?

Question

I just recently learned the reason why the stars only shine at night, and it made me wonder if the sun overshined them in the morning. Does that mean that the only stars we see at night are stars that are hidden behind the earth’s shadow? I would like to understand it better, thank you.

Answer 1

We only see the stars when the sun is behind the earth, but since the earth orbits the sun, the section of the universe we see is constantly changing. This is why constellations move, rotate, and disappear
